The total land holdings/farmers will be covered once in every three years. As per the guidelines issued by GOI soil samples have to be drawn In irrigated areas, samples should be drawn in a grid of 2.5ha. In rainfed areas sampling should be done in 10ha grid. In irrigated areas, large, medium and semi-medium holdings should be sampled and tested holding wise. In case of marginal and small holdings sampling should be done in 2.5ha grid. 10
In rainfed areas all the large holdings should be sampled and tested holding wise and in case of medium, semi medium, small & marginal holdings sampling should be done in 10ha grid. As per the guidelines of GOI the sharing pattern of funds for implementation of scheme is 60:40. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY): This is a new Central sector Scheme is being implemented in our State from 2016-17. The name of the scheme is Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY). The objective of the scheme is to provide assured irrigation to each and every cultivable land to increase the productivity through convergence of funds earmarked by various Ministries involved in Water resources development and to increase the assured irrigated area and to improve the farmers’ income Under the Guidelines of the scheme, Agriculture Department is the Nodal Department in implementation of the Scheme. The Other departments which are being funded under this yojana are 1. AIBP(1 Specific Project) – Major Irrigation Department 2. RRR – Minor Irrigation Department 3. APMIP – Horticulture Department 4. IWMP-Watersheds – Rural Development Department 5. PMKSY Other Interventions – Agriculture Department • Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana: • Promotion of Organic Farming in clusters under PGS (Participatory Guarantee System). • The Programme is in implementation in 131 clusters @ 10/11 clusters per district. • In each cluster 300 farmers are identified to adopt exclusively Organic/ Natural farmingin Kharif 2016, 33422 farmers have adopted Organic/ Natural farming. • In each cluster 1MPEO, 1 Cluster Activist (CA), 2 Community Resource Persons (CRPs) & 30 Master farmers will act as a team to promote natural farming in the clusters. • 231 Farmer Experts who are the best practicing farmers work for 18 - 21 days in each round and train farmers on need based inputs i.e.,Preparation of botanical extracts, Ghana/Drava Jeevamrutham etc. & promote NADEPs, SRI cultivation, RFSA methods etc. • To meet the immediate requirement of farmers, the 300 farmers in the cluster are provided assistance as follows. a. Establishment of NPM shops @ 5 per cluster on 50% subsidy @Rs.50,000/- unit b. Procurement of Cows @ 30 per cluster on 50% subsidy limited to Rs.10000/-unit. Prime Minister Fasal Bima Yojana: Crop Insurance scheme. More farmer friendly- minimal contribution in premium by farmer.Farmers premium contribution in Kharif 2% and in Rabi 1.5% for Food crops and Oil seed crops. Cover for inundation apart from Hail storm and 11
Post-harvest crop damage. Uses technology for assessment of Area/yield for quicker settlement of claims. State Development Plan Schemes Farm Mechanization: Agricultural mechanization helps in increasing production, productivity and profitability in Agriculture by achieving timeliness in farm operations. Farm equipment like land preparatory, sowing equipment, plant protection equipment etc., are being supplied under subsidy. Custom Hiring Centres and Implement Hiring Stations are also introduced in mandals for major crops grown in the State like Paddy, Maize, Ground nut, Cotton and other crops like Tobacco to make High cost machinery available to small and marginal farmers. • Extension: Capacity Building of Farmers, Farm Women and Farmer groups through farmer trainings, PolamPilusthondi to upgrade skills and knowledge through transfer technologies to address the production gaps. To create a favourable attitude in farmers towards modern cultivation and maximizing their potential by rising awareness levels, pro-change attitude. Strengthening of RMGs to function as the interface between the Agricultural Extension system and Farmers for transfer of technology, access to market information and other farm related advice. Padipantalu magazines are printed and supplied to the farmers for creating awareness. MPEOs are placed to strengthen the agricultural extension network through facilitating effective extension reach to the farming community, addressing the immediate needs of the farmers during the season in case of un favourable seasonal conditions and sensitize the farmers on measures to be taken up to enhance the productivity levels. • Integrated Nutrient Management: Analysis of soil samples has indicated that 40-49% of soils in Andhra Pradesh are potentially deficient in Zinc, Iron, Manganese and boron. It is evident that 10-20 % of the yield will be increased due to correction of Micro Nutrients deficiency by application of micro nutrients to the soils. Under INM programme mainly Zinc Sulphate and other micro nutrients is supplied to enhance Agriculture productivity through soil test based application. The fertilizer control labs are also strengthened. To increase productivity, it is planned to supply required quantities of micronutrients to farmers on 100% subsidy. In addition to soil application foliar application is also proposed to correct the micronutrient deficiency. 12
• Crop Loans for Farmers (Pavala Vaddi): PavalaVaddi is a bank linked scheme to provide financial support to the farming community and to encourage the farmers for timely repayment of crop loans. PavalaVaddi is applicable for crop loans for the loan amount more than Rs.1.00 lakh and upto 3.00 lakhs. • Polambadi: The main objective of Polambadi is to reduce the cost of cultivation and increase the productivity duly empowering the farmers to take economic decisions by adopting practices of integrated crop management. The polambadi programme is being organized by MAO and AEO in crop period from seed to seed for 14 sessions/ weeks in 10ha of land and 30 numbers of farmers in each polambadi unit. Polampilustundi: Polampilustundi is the new on farm demonstration programme implemented in the farmers field itself, to promote best agronomic and farm management practices for achieving increase in productivity and reducing the cost of cultivation. It is planned to organize a demonstration programme by each AEO/AO/ADA of the department in a cluster of 10 ha with number of farmers not exceeding 5 per each cluster and each farmer having not exceeding 2ha of land. Soil and Water conservation programme: The main objective is to retain the moisture for longer period and also to increase the productivity through soil conservation measures are to be coupled with agronomic practices for higher production by adopting recommendations of Agriculture Universities for rainfed cultivation practices thereby improving indigenous cultivation practices. Under SWC 2018-19 the activities adapting to Climate resilience and water conservation in Rainfed areas shall be implemented on cluster approach. Each cluster will be of an area of 500- 1000 Ha or village as a unit. Villages which were already covered under MGNREGS/ IWMP watershed activities shall be taken up. The activities that are proposed in these areas are 1. Climate resilient Production systems 2.
